Wade llaptl)on who has been de- t scribed by (en. Gordon as the greatest a man the State of South Carolina ever y produced, was honored yesterday as t but few men are ever honored on this e earth. It is rare that it falls to the lot f of man to have such tribute paid to Ii him by liidreds of men, each of whom e is himself a hero. Gen. Iiampton was y much affected by the remarkable a demonstration of affection and regard , made by the grizzled survivors of many a bloody batt lefield and dashing charge; a so much so that towards the end of the ri addi'ess to his men bis voice was fal- 1 tering, and lie spoke with difliculty. n Ihis heart was full to overflowing. It . was a sight that those who witnessed 11 can never forget. It carried to all the e lesson that homior, chivalry and integ- f, rity have a reward that no other quah- w ications can procure. k It was about 5.30 o'clock when the h Confederate veterans in the city fell into line at the interaicelion of Gerva:s u and Ilain streets for the purpose of mnareinng to Gen. lIaml)ton's home and paying tribute to him. Tihe pro- y( cession was headed by Gen. Walker hi and staff and Adjt.. Flenniken, of Camp lo -Iampl)ton, hIe-alinug the division colors, I and Col. J. Fuller Ly on, commanding e the Abbevillo regiment, bearing the st tattered colors of the Tenth South Car- tc olina reiiment. Just in front were S Messrl. Asher Browie and C D. Eber- a hardt of the Columbia orchesta, beat. al ing the kettle and bass diums. Fol- m lowing the veterans were the Sons of fe Veterans, headed by Commander Iunt a, and staff. In the procession of tbe ti veterans also marched several of tle C( fair sponsors. The old soldiers march- h( cd out Gervais street upon the north a pavement, and the line was over four vi blocks-nearly a half mile-in length. ol A number of C nfederate gray uni- di forms were to be seen in the proces- tLI sion. As they passed a residence upon in Gervais street a party of ladies and ti] gentlemen gave three cheers for the fu old boys. [1 At Gen. Hlamn)tons residence there were chairs upon the piazza, aad the y membeis of Wade llampton chapter, y( Daughters of the Confederacy, occu- s1 Pied them. Near the centre sat Mrs. til Waring, Miss Martin and Mrs. Kohn, Se the committee al)l)omiitCd to confer y( upon Gein. Ilamlpton the Southern fa Cross of Ilonor. (en. Ilamptin as hL talking to Geni. John B. Gordon when it the beat of the drum was heard. The two generals inmediately said fare. a; well, and Gen. Gordon going out, H junmed ini a carriage and left. Gen. i I1ull)toln then stepl)ed out 111)011 the portico and soon Maj. hIart met him hi an( warmly shook his hand. The gen hc eral soon afterward sat down in a ho large arm chair, as the marching col i~nadv,-need- m Oi his left lapel ("e. Hampton yC woro a recepl)tioi committee badge; on fr the right. was a beautiful Confederate w badge. As the veterans came up, Gen- ki Walker entered the yard and came 01 - upon the )ortico, warmly greeting (en. Ilailton, who had risen to receive him. lie was followed by tle division sponsor and her maids of honor and others. The veterans lined up out side the fence, ten to fifteen feet. III front, of the portico, ini the yard, were a number of' little children. Gen. Ilampltoni remarked that lie wvished lie h att " horses for all those mn out bc there.''m, As soon as Adjt. Ilolmes camne uplon ci: the piiazza Glen. Walker turned to the mn veterans antd exclaimed : "Comnradles, fe - we have come to c'all on the greatest, G of all South Carioliians, Wade IIamp-) w ton. I want you to welcome him with di the goodl old Rebhel yell. Now give it tr to him, boys !"' This wa1s (done ini fne cl * style. y T1hen Geni. Walker saidl: "You boy3s am * ~ all know thiat I have been saying too 01 * much already, and, besides, I think tc that this presentation should be miade 1,1 by one who foliowed the great cavalry r< leader of South Carolina all through ji those four years: I have therefore, o: selected Maj. Ilait, of IHart's battery, ti to present you to our great chieftain.'' b (Cheers.)p Maj. Ilart, of Yorkville, of the cele- 1; brated Ilart's battery then spoke as Ti follows: ti " Gen. Ilamptoni: You have heard e that yell before, and you heard it in n (lays when it, meant something more ti than a ti ibute of love and affection to d1 you; when it me-ant terror to thlose who stoodl before it. "It is my pleaising privilege to p)resenit b to you the assembled survivors of two n immortal Confedlera e armies --[he one I of Northern Virginia, led by the im- a mortal Lee, and the other the army of tl Tennessee, which followed the peerless h Josephl E. .Jobi iston. These are the a men who standl beflore y'ou this even- f, ing, andl who for fonr' year1s carriedl on S the point of their bright bayonets the p argument for' Southern Independenec e and~ the praycr for liberty. Bhut well e (lid they performi their mission. There s are standing before you this evening a - meni who stood before the red-monithed~ f - cannon at Malvern 11111 and at Cemoe- s *tory Itidge. T1hose banners, some of which we saw this mornig, and some 1: of which I think are hiere,, have flashed it uponi scores of battleflds behore you, y the great, leader. I see menu here who followed Lee's great line of soldiery I that were nearly always inlvincile"; I meni who fought uder Ihill, and Early, andl Jackson amid licauregard. I siee * hefoire me men who followed Josep~ha F. Johnston al Franklin, ansI who on a I scor3 of battletihis from Lookout i Mountain to Atlanita fonght Sherman: andl nearly always replulsedI him. "'And, Gen, l lamipton, there are men standing here who followedl your nightly blade upon a hundred battle elds; wherever you led-for, sir,'yoi lways led wherevet there was fight ig to be done. (Applause.) Ther re men who were with you when yoi Jok command of the Confederate cav Iry in 1864, and where at Hawes' shol ou planted its dismounted lines bcfor se advancing corps of Iardy an( herman and wrenched Richmom :om their grasp with an insiguifican ttle body of dismounted cavalry. Tli reuse of these men thon was tha [U had been reenforced. That waQ ways their excuse; but, sir, there as nothing in it. "And so, sir, when Sherman met you Trevalian Station, where the Enfieh ge was in the grasp of the cavalry en instead of the useless sabre, Sher an as he rode away from the field rote to his chief that he was met by ampton's cavalry, but that it was re iforced by Early's division of in ritly, and that their combined forces ere too great for him. But, sir, you .ow that you, with a force less than tif as great as his own, had coi Alled him to retire from the field in Aber (disord 3r. "And now, comrades, I present to >u a chieftain worthy not only of air admiration, for Gen. Ilampton is always had that, not only of your ve and affection, for he won that ng, long ago, but worthy of the high t meed of praise that man can be ow upon his fellow mal. I present you one who has done imore for mith Carolina in peace, in war, and ain in peace than all the orators and I the statesmen that, ever came before after. WN'hien in the (lark days that llowed disaster and defeat to our is it was he who stands before you is evening, that lent that hope and urage to the hosts of invincible man >od and womianhood-if I may please y it-of South Carolina that cat ried etory when defeat seemed almost the ily result of the campaign. It was te to the sagacious statesmanship and e true courage of him that in a cam ign which required greater courage an war, when South Carolinians ught for their liberty a second time, at a victory was gained. "Gen. Hampton, these men coie to Ly their respects to you. They love >u, they honor you, and as yonder n which is setting in the West marks e declining hours of a peerless day, those bat tle-scarred heroes before 'u, with their gray hair and wrinkled ces, indicate the declining lay of eir manhood. But such as it is, sir, is yours, and yours forever." Loud cheers followed this speech, d there were lRebel yeiis as Gen. Impton rose and faced his soldiers. iere were cries of "HIampton." Gen. Iampton placed his hand on 3 right breast and quiet prevailed as addressed the great gathering as fol wvs: "My Comrades: I have indeed, as aj. Hart has said, heard that Itebe. 11 often before and when I heard it >m my own men, from the men hon I had the honor to command, I oew that we were safe. I think it is 0e of the British ppets who says: 'The kites know well The long league's swell That bids the Romans close.' I might paraphrase this by saying: The Yankees knew well The Ion g league's swell That bitts the Rebels close. "My old heroes I hope it never will forgotten. I hope it will be trans ittedI to your children and to your ildren's children-if not for them to e to tell how it used to ring from the rests of Virginia, how it rang from 3ttysburg to the West, and how it al ays told of men who were willing to e for their Southland, to die for *ith, for honor, for manhood, for Livalry andl for a great truth. I want mn to try andl teach to your children id to your children's children that irs was not a lost cause. I want, you tell tthem that we were fighting fom 0 right. George Washington was a bel, but Lee was not.

"And now in your declining yeari ad when mine have extendedl long syondl the period( allotted to man, you iy 01(1 comradles, whom I loved, whon trusted and with whom I felt as saf, 1 (10o now, I want to say to you al mat all the love you have given mi as been more than reciprocated; tha It that I have ever been able to (14 ir you, for any one of you, or fo outh Carolina, has been more than ne aidl by the honors you have unsolicit I conferred upon me andl by this thi rowning honorof my life. I may no ie you again. I remember a story o n old bishop who when ready to retir com publhc life went to the abbot, am~ sid: " 'Father Abbot, an 01(1 man whos cart is broken by the storms of Stat come to lay his weaxy bones amnon ou." "That, is all I shall ask of South C ire na-a few feet of earth where m indred for six generations are restin" and I am p~roud~ to say that one o uore of each generation since the, yore knowin in South Carolina ha illed a bloody gr.4ve for South Carohniii Applause.) I claim no credlit for thai svery South Carolinian who was tru vas willing to give his blood( and hi ife for the old State. I amn sure th [ was willing to do 5. 1 think I ~i say so to you, My Men, that I neve I turned my back upou any of you whei - your faces were turned toward th, enemy. The greatest honor that I fel I during the war was once when I cam upon at poor private who was dying. I stopped beside him allot he said: I Im happy to die fihhting andot I an I proud to (lie light ilg Iider you.' ' "1 pray that God will bless you ani will givo you peace andI prosperity give it to the old State, give it to cael on1e of you and that you will go hoim and tell your kindred that you hav seeni your old coiriade and that h<t thanks you for them.'" Again the lRebel yells burst forth mI the general ceased speaking am sal down. Some one then cried for (ordon, bu GCen. Walker told him that the old Con fede had done more than the Yankeves con(l ever tdo-their cominm. had Iadt Gen. Gordoni runi. Taking inl his hand a beaiutifili wreath of magnolia leaves Adj I. Ilolies then addressed (en. Ilampton thus : "' Gen. lampton: Your comrades COIl to you today b ringing heart' ful of love, and words of estcen and praise and reverence. They come also bear ing a ,imple gift which they want yoi to hang inl the room 3 ou mot81 fre, quently sit in so that as of ten as you may, lift your eyes3 toward it you tmay re call the imeu who never once inl war ()I in peace faltered in their love for you, This wrieath is nmade of ieavkes frm -1 tree that. grows inl your iativ- State. That, tiee was transplantud from Ithe State of your ancestors. It was traus. planted from the Dismal swam p of Virgimai;u and now grows inl tile yard )f Lieut.. Col. Julius Blake, who himseli gathered these leaves and they werc twined into this Wreath by Mrs. Isaaci, whose father servedin Texas and in the Confedera'e states navy. Ve have selected tiese leaves for these two reasons, and we have bound tOile with ribbon of the blue and white of your State- -the State that will ie known hereafter for all time as the State of its savior, as Wade llam ptonl's South Carolina." By this time the yard was filled with old soldiers whose entI usiasi was boundless. Gen. HIampton rose and said: " My friends I want, to say that I thank you for the love and kindness you have showli 11 and to assire1 yol that this wreath shall long hang so that if I can so control it tle last liok I give on carth will be on that cien* to of youc kindness." Mrs. Clark Waring tlien in a mnonst appropriate manner expressing" thec most patriotic sentiments presented the Southern Cross of Ihonor to Gen. Ilampton, and had sat down so that his little grand daughter could put it on his coat for the Wade Iiampton chapter. This was done, andf Naj Ihart, leaned over and kissed the little girl. The general said lie felt like kissing the dear womien. Just here Miss Margiarel Flinn, sponsor for Camp Hampton, camtle up with a beautiful floral du sigll preset ing it to the general, and naively said, "Aren't you going to kiss me?" The general surrendered and did kiss her then and there, while the soldiers cheered. A final rebel yell was given, and tilen) an informal reception was held oi Ilie piazza, tile soldiers ci'owding the one over the other' to shake the aged hero5 BIfI& ARP QUOTF,8 A PSALM.
